Added Velton's, out of Seattle. Velton offers 8-oz. bags of his well-regarded blends (except for the Holiday Blend).

Has anyone tried MistoBox (www.mistobox.com)?

They have a subscription that sends out four 1.7 oz. bags of coffee from different roasters each month, for $19 each month. There's also a $30 per month subscription for four 3.4 oz. bags of coffee.

Seems like a pretty good deal if you want to try more varieties of coffee.

^^^ Yes. Here's a relevant thread:

MistoBox

They sent me their most recent box free after I filled out a survey, and I can attest to the quality; not a bad coffee in there. You might also consider Craft Coffee or, if you want to explore a few Norwegian roasters, Kaffe Smak.

That's great, Mike! I'll keep an eye out for those and update this thread once they appear on the site.

I noticed that Intelligentsia has stopped offering 8-oz. bags, so I've removed them from this list. Here's what's posted on their site:
Intelligentsia wrote:Attention Customers:

As part of recent changes to our production, we will no longer be offering eight ounce, one pound or kilogram bags effective January 1, 2014. We will continue to offer 1lb bags for all Black Cat Project offerings and future releases of espresso as we recognize the need for a larger amount of coffee to dial in the perfect shot. Please be sure to adjust any repeat or recurring orders or order templates you have in your profile as they will no longer be accurate.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, but we are confident that this adjustment to our production will ensure you receive your coffee faster and with fewer errors moving forward. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.

Mike, is this still slated to happen this week? I just checked and I don't see the 4oz option. Definitely want to try that Nicaragua ACE Auction Lot. Thanks!
